Google Fonts Not Displayed in Mozilla Firefox Browser

Sometimes there is a Google Fonts problem with Mozilla Firefox.  The fonts at Google Fonts aren't shown correctly and one sees only regular type. Usually this is caused by the default settings of the NoScript Add-On if it is installed. To change the NoScript settings to show Google fonts properly one must enable the @ font-face setting by doing the following:
  1. In Firefox click on the Tools menu and select Add-ons (or use hotkey Ctrl+Shift+A)
  2. Select the Options button that should appear for NoScript
  3. Click on the Embeddings tab
  4. Uncheck the box for "Forbid @ font-face"
  5. Choose OK to apply change
Go back to Google Fonts and reload the page.  The previously plain type sample text should be rendered using different fonts.  For other problems with Google Fonts and Firefox try looking at this troubleshooting page.
